00:00:00,120 –> 00:00:03,799
Speaker 1: In an apparently very painful moment on Tuesday evening, an

2
00:00:03,799 –> 00:00:07,200
elderly woman who appears suffering from age related bending and

3
00:00:07,280 –> 00:00:11,199
muscle weakness known medically as cayphosis, could be seen struggling

4
00:00:11,240 –> 00:00:14,119
and battling helplessly for the safety of her own life

5
00:00:14,199 –> 00:00:17,280
as group of terrorists invaded and took over a church

6
00:00:17,359 –> 00:00:22,399
in Nigeria. This the worshippers of Christ Apostolic Church CAC

7
00:00:22,440 –> 00:00:25,600
were attacked during their church service that was live streamed

8
00:00:25,679 –> 00:00:29,519
on social media platforms, and the video life coverage captured

9
00:00:29,559 –> 00:00:32,759
the moment the elderly woman was moving from one hideout

10
00:00:32,799 –> 00:00:36,439
to another hiding under table, trying to move fast and

11
00:00:36,520 –> 00:00:39,960
run for safety alongside others before the terrorists, who also

12
00:00:40,119 –> 00:00:43,880
parked the worshippers belongings, intercepted the camera device that was

13
00:00:43,920 –> 00:00:47,560
live streaming the church service and probably destroyed the device

14
00:00:48,039 –> 00:00:53,000
the attack. According to Evangelical Church Winning All ECWA News

15
00:00:53,079 –> 00:00:58,079

20
00:01:12,719 –> 00:01:17,000
several Christian worshippers in the church, including the presiding pastor.

21
00:01:17,120 –> 00:01:21,159
The ECWA News Media has reported in recent days that

22
00:01:21,239 –> 00:01:25,680
the attacks on Christian communities in Nigeria is growing almost

23
00:01:25,799 –> 00:01:30,799
higher on daily basis, specifically stating that Reverend Father Bobby Paskell,

24
00:01:31,159 –> 00:01:35,079

26
00:01:39,719 –> 00:01:44,120
in the early hours on Monday, November seventeenth, twenty twenty five.

27
00:01:44,560 –> 00:01:48,719
In addition, the ECWA News Media also published image of

28
00:01:48,799 –> 00:01:53,200
twelve residents, including an ECWA pastor, that were kidnapped by

29
00:01:53,280 –> 00:01:57,040
Islamic terrorists last week at the Giddenwire community in Lere

30
00:01:57,239 –> 00:02:00,920
Local Government area of Kaduna State. The safety of the

31
00:02:01,000 –> 00:02:03,959
elderly woman is yet to be ascertained as at press time,

32
00:02:04,000 –> 00:02:07,239
as the Koira State Police Command of the Nigeria Police

33
00:02:07,280 –> 00:02:11,479
Force described the successful terrorist act as an attempted bandits attack.

34
00:02:11,840 –> 00:02:16,280
According to Sahara Reporters, news media, eyewitnesses reported that the

35
00:02:16,319 –> 00:02:21,080
attackers came in suddenly, shooting sporadically and gathered some worshippers,

36
00:02:21,479 –> 00:02:25,080
including the pastor, and marched them into the bush. The

37
00:02:25,199 –> 00:02:29,479
exact number of abducted victims remains unknown, but residents say

38
00:02:29,520 –> 00:02:33,879
the attackers fled through bush paths linking neighboring communities. The

39
00:02:34,000 –> 00:02:37,439
incident has left the community in panic and chaos, with

40
00:02:37,560 –> 00:02:41,759
residents and travelers fleeing into surrounding bushes for safety. At

41
00:02:41,800 –> 00:02:45,599
midnight on Tuesday, some stranded travelers in a viral video

42
00:02:45,719 –> 00:02:48,360
called for help as they could not continue their journey

43
00:02:48,439 –> 00:02:51,039
due to the terrorists who were on Armed Forces of

44
00:02:51,120 –> 00:02:55,080
Nigeria AFN under the command and control of the President

45
00:02:55,120 –> 00:02:58,879
and Commander in Chief Bolo Ahmed Tlubu has kept mums

46
00:02:58,960 –> 00:03:02,639
since early morning night on Monday, when a mag news agency,

47
00:03:03,000 –> 00:03:06,879
the international media outlet of the Islamic State West Africa

48
00:03:06,919 –> 00:03:11,719
Province ICEWAP, started sending and disseminating a photograph of Brigadier

49
00:03:11,879 –> 00:03:17,080
General Lusa Uber in ICEWAP captivity, indicating untrue. The brigadier

50
00:03:17,159 –> 00:03:21,400
general the Nigerian Army authority had earlier claimed on Saturday

51
00:03:21,520 –> 00:03:24,080
to be safe and led his troops back to base.

52
00:03:24,479 –> 00:03:27,639
A statement the army issued to challenge media reports that

53
00:03:27,639 –> 00:03:31,199
the Brigadier General was captured and held captive by the

54
00:03:31,199 –> 00:03:35,360
ICEWAP terrorists after the terrorists ambushed the twenty five Task

55
00:03:35,520 –> 00:03:39,599

56
00:03:39,680 –> 00:03:44,120
soldiers and civilian JTF members in Wajeroco village near Sambi

57
00:03:44,159 –> 00:03:48,159
Sir Forest in Warno State on Friday around five pm.

58
00:03:48,479 –> 00:03:51,919
This hum Angle news media that was among the earliest

59
00:03:52,000 –> 00:03:56,159
news providers that reported the Icewap deadly attacks on Nigeria

60
00:03:56,280 –> 00:04:00,280
soldiers on Saturday. After being challenged with a denial press

61
00:04:00,400 –> 00:04:04,360
release issued by the Nigerian Army Authority that the Brigadier

62
00:04:04,479 –> 00:04:08,439
General was not kidnapped, claiming the brigadier General led his

63
00:04:08,560 –> 00:04:12,039
men to forward through the ambush of the terrorists, forcing

64
00:04:12,039 –> 00:04:15,280
the terrorists to flew in disarray, hume Angle on Monday

65
00:04:15,360 –> 00:04:18,480
early morning published a news report and insisted that the

66
00:04:18,519 –> 00:04:22,759
Brigadier General was in Icewap captivity. According to hume Angle,

67
00:04:23,040 –> 00:04:25,920
it was already in possession of a photograph showing the

68
00:04:25,959 –> 00:04:31,560
Brigadier General in Icewap captivity, but due to its editorial policy,

69
00:04:31,639 –> 00:04:34,759
it would not publish the image soon. The image of

70
00:04:34,800 –> 00:04:38,519
the kidnap Brigadier general became available to some media through

71
00:04:38,560 –> 00:04:42,360
a mag news agency publication that claimed that the Brigadier

72
00:04:42,480 –> 00:04:47,560
General was executed shortly after being interrogated by the ICEWAP terrorists.

73
00:04:47,879 –> 00:04:51,279
The imag only presented a photo evidence of the Brigadier

74
00:04:51,399 –> 00:04:55,800
General being captured, but any material evidence if the Brigadier

75
00:04:55,879 –> 00:04:59,519
General has been killed was not provided. Following the apparent

76
00:04:59,600 –> 00:05:04,480
unforced development in the Nigeria army community, former Vice President

77
00:05:04,519 –> 00:05:08,800
of Nigeria Atiku Abubaka, on Monday, in a statement personally

78
00:05:08,879 –> 00:05:13,000
signed called on President Bola Ahmed Tanubutera, admitting competence and

79
00:05:13,079 –> 00:05:15,959
the President should either ask for help or tended a

80
00:05:16,040 –> 00:05:21,120
letter of resignation immediately. According to the former Nigeria Vice President,

81
00:05:21,480 –> 00:05:25,439
Atiku abu Baka, I am deeply saddened and extremely shocked

82
00:05:25,480 –> 00:05:28,079
and disturbed by news making the rounds of the killing

83
00:05:28,160 –> 00:05:31,680
of Brigadier General Musa Uber by terrorists and the failure

84
00:05:31,759 –> 00:05:35,240
of the military hierarchy to clearly explain how it happened

85
00:05:35,319 –> 00:05:38,920
or what went wrong, As initial official denials indicated that

86
00:05:39,000 –> 00:05:42,519
this was not the case. United Nigeria Airlines confirmed in

87
00:05:42,560 –> 00:05:45,720
a statement issued a few minutes ago. The two popular

88
00:05:45,839 –> 00:05:51,360

00:06:36,439 –> 00:06:39,600
the morning of the seventeenth of November twenty twenty five.

101
00:06:40,439 –> 00:06:44,800
In full compliance with global aviation safety protocols OUR crew

102
00:06:44,839 –> 00:06:50,439
responded immediately and professionally to deescalate the situation. Both passengers

103
00:06:50,480 –> 00:06:54,319
were deboarded without delay to ensure the safety, comfort and

104
00:06:54,399 –> 00:06:58,079
security of all other passengers and crew members. They were

105
00:06:58,120 –> 00:07:03,160
subsequently handed over to airport Security for further investigation. United

00:07:03,279 –> 00:07:07,560
Nigeria Airlines places the highest priority on safety and maintains

security or well being of passengers or crew. After all

109
00:07:15,160 –> 00:07:19,199
standard procedures were completed, the flight departed safely, while the

110
00:07:19,240 –> 00:07:22,839
passengers involved in the altercation were still with the authorities.

111
00:07:23,680 –> 00:07:27,680
We remain firmly committed to providing a safe, respectful, and

112
00:07:27,800 –> 00:07:32,600

113
00:07:32,639 –> 00:07:36,319
co passengers on the plane showed Veridarkman threatening to slap

114
00:07:36,399 –> 00:07:39,800
mister Joloff, and mister Joloff advanced towards him in a

115
00:07:39,800 –> 00:07:43,319
manner that was initially and apparently perceived by others inside

116
00:07:43,319 –> 00:07:46,720
the plane as a joke, until the situation escalated into

117
00:07:46,759 –> 00:07:50,360
a mild rawle as crew members and passengers tried to intervene.

118
00:07:51,199 –> 00:07:53,600
It is gathered that the fight occurred as a result

119
00:07:53,600 –> 00:07:58,199
of misunderstanding both had since twenty twenty four, wherein Veridarkman

120
00:07:58,279 –> 00:08:01,680
had reportedly vowed to attack missus to Joloff anytime, anywhere.

121
00:08:02,399 –> 00:08:06,199
Shortly after the fight, Veridarkman, in a video statement, said

122
00:08:06,240 –> 00:08:10,839
that Idon chopped joloff father for inside plane manway day,

123
00:08:10,959 –> 00:08:31,480
bite I beat I beat Am. Politics of obvious and

124
00:08:31,519 –> 00:08:34,919
apparent personal vendetta among some youths in Edo State, which

125
00:08:34,919 –> 00:08:38,399
has been ongoing for years, most especially since the immediate

126
00:08:38,440 –> 00:08:42,200
former governor of the state, Godwin Obuseki, left office on

127
00:08:42,320 –> 00:08:45,519
November twelfth, twenty twenty four, took a new twist. On

128
00:08:45,639 –> 00:08:49,399
Sunday night in the city of Manchester in the United Kingdom,

129
00:08:49,519 –> 00:08:52,519
has yet to be properly identified. Man walked into an

130
00:08:52,519 –> 00:08:56,000
event hall where the former governor, Godwin Obuseki and his

131
00:08:56,080 –> 00:08:59,600
wife Betty were scheduled to meet Edo people and attacked

132
00:08:59,600 –> 00:09:03,320
one of them, the main political and media supporters, Albert Oberze,

133
00:09:03,759 –> 00:09:06,039
who probably had been in the bad books of some

134
00:09:06,320 –> 00:09:09,360
Edo youth’s sequel to his ways of always defending the

135
00:09:09,360 –> 00:09:12,919
ex governor Arbuseqi and exchanging words with those against the

136
00:09:13,039 –> 00:09:18,080
ex governor. Videos made available online indicated that Albert Oberze

137
00:09:18,120 –> 00:09:20,759
was attacked while he was live streaming the event on

138
00:09:20,879 –> 00:09:24,519
Facebook and other social media platforms as guests were coming

139
00:09:24,519 –> 00:09:27,000
in and waiting for the arrival of the former Edo

140
00:09:27,120 –> 00:09:32,399
State Governor, Godwin Arbiseki and his wife Betty. Initially, the

141
00:09:32,399 –> 00:09:35,519
suspected attacker walked up to the victim and asked to

142
00:09:35,519 –> 00:09:38,720
have a conversation with him, saying I am the Double

143
00:09:38,799 –> 00:09:42,120
Chief you are looking for. Come, let’s talk. But Albert

144
00:09:42,120 –> 00:09:45,320
Oberze refused and replied to the attacker that you are

145
00:09:45,360 –> 00:09:48,480
the one looking for me. What can happen? As Albert

146
00:09:48,519 –> 00:09:51,639
Oberse continued to demand to know why the attacker had

147
00:09:51,639 –> 00:09:55,440
decided to see him. Immediately, the attacker hit the victim

148
00:09:55,480 –> 00:09:59,519
on the face. Manchester City Police were seen alongside their

149
00:09:59,600 –> 00:10:03,720
vehicle shortly after the attack, but the City Police Department

150
00:10:03,759 –> 00:10:05,879
is yet to issue a statement as at the time

151
00:10:05,960 –> 00:10:09,960
of filing in this report. Albert Oberze, in a Facebook

152
00:10:10,000 –> 00:10:13,080
live streaming on Monday early morning night at a hospital

153
00:10:13,159 –> 00:10:17,399
in Manchester, said that he’s currently having difficulty with hearing

154
00:10:17,480 –> 00:10:20,399
in one of his ears hit by the attacker. On

155
00:10:20,480 –> 00:10:25,320
November fifth, twenty twenty five, while on live Facebook video streaming,

156
00:10:25,639 –> 00:10:28,960
Albert Oberze had raised alarms of act of possible threat

157
00:10:28,960 –> 00:10:31,919
to his life by a man simply identified as Double

158
00:10:32,000 –> 00:10:34,879
Chief of Manchester, who he said had threatened to beat

159
00:10:34,960 –> 00:10:38,559
him repeatedly if he visited Manchester to attend and organize

160
00:10:38,600 –> 00:10:42,720
the Obseki Thank You visit to his supporters. Also, during

161
00:10:42,720 –> 00:10:46,279
the live video, Albert Oberze narrated how he was almost

162
00:10:46,279 –> 00:10:50,480
attacked by some edouthes in Italy, thus described some Edo

163
00:10:50,559 –> 00:10:55,240
youths abroad as people who always act like animals. Before now,

164
00:10:55,519 –> 00:10:58,720
Albert Oberzeme have faced a lot of threats of possible

165
00:10:58,759 –> 00:11:02,000
attacks issued by m Edo youths who also see him

166
00:11:02,039 –> 00:11:05,279
as an enemy of the Benin monarch following the controversies

167
00:11:05,360 –> 00:11:08,840
surrounding the establishment of Museum of the West African Art

168
00:11:09,360 –> 00:11:12,639
moir and Edo State, which some youths protested and prevented

169
00:11:12,639 –> 00:11:16,039
the commissioning of the multi billion naira cultural hub last

170
00:11:16,080 –> 00:11:19,039

214
00:14:07,840 –> 00:14:11,879

has ordered the new Prime Minister of Ukraine, Yulia’s spear Idenco,

216

who gave the order this week while in one on

219
00:14:27,120 –> 00:14:30,799
one meeting with the female Prime minister, said the law

220
00:14:30,879 –> 00:14:34,840
enforcement agencies of Ukraine must take immediate action based on

221
00:14:34,960 –> 00:14:38,320
the outcome or results of the audits being initiated by

222
00:14:38,399 –> 00:14:42,960
Yulias Sphearidenko, the current Prime Minister of Ukraine, who assumed

223
00:14:43,039 –> 00:14:47,600
office on July seventeenth, twenty twenty five, after being confirmed

224
00:14:47,639 –> 00:14:53,440
by the Vakovnerada, meaning Ukraine’s parliament, following President Volodimir zelenski

225
00:14:53,519 –> 00:14:57,519
nomination of sphear Idenko as part of a major government reshuffle,

226
00:14:57,879 –> 00:15:02,000
replacing the previous Prime Minister Dennis schmil who became the

the first Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Development

00:15:10,120 –> 00:15:13,039
and Trade. The new position made her the second woman

230
00:15:13,159 –> 00:15:17,360
in Ukraine’s history to hold the position of prime minister. Meanwhile,

231
00:15:17,639 –> 00:15:24,600
during the week, Zelenski also announced that the Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway,

232
00:15:25,039 –> 00:15:29,039
along with other Baltic friendly countries of Ukraine, have decided

233
00:15:29,080 –> 00:15:32,240
to commit an additional five hundred million dollars to the

234
00:15:32,279 –> 00:15:37,480
prioritized Ukraine Requirements List PERL Initiative and NATO led initiative

235

to expedite the supply of critically needed US manufactured weapons

236
00:15:41,600 –> 00:15:44,759
to the country, which Zelensky said will be of a

237
00:15:44,759 –> 00:15:48,559
substantial help. In a number of statements during the week,

238
00:15:48,919 –> 00:15:52,120
Zelensky said, I had a meeting with the Prime Minister

239
00:15:52,200 –> 00:15:56,559
of Ukraine. First and foremost, we focused on the situation

240
00:15:56,720 –> 00:15:59,919
with recovery efforts in the regions after the Russian strikes.

241
00:16:00,759 –> 00:16:04,080
Repair crews are working almost around the clock wherever needed,

242
00:16:04,399 –> 00:16:08,440
and the necessary resources have been deployed. We are increasing

243
00:16:08,480 –> 00:16:11,559
our reserve of equipment and work with partners on this

244
00:16:11,679 –> 00:16:15,559
issue is constantly ongoing. Ulius, sphere Ide and Co. Also

245
00:16:15,720 –> 00:16:19,679
reported on the implementation of support programs for frontline and

246
00:16:19,720 –> 00:16:24,919
border communities. We are ensuring the necessary funding starting tomorrow.

247
00:16:25,320 –> 00:16:28,639
A new Winter Support program for our people will be launched.

248
00:16:29,080 –> 00:16:33,600
Government officials will present all the details publicly. Last year,

249
00:16:34,000 –> 00:16:37,919
more than fourteen million Ukrainians benefited from winter Support and

250
00:16:38,039 –> 00:16:41,919
we expect no smaller scale this winter. The Prime Minister

251
00:16:42,000 –> 00:16:45,720
reported on the launch of audit processes in state owned companies.

252
00:16:46,480 –> 00:16:49,679
We agreed that the audits must be conducted promptly and

253
00:16:49,799 –> 00:16:52,840
all results must be forwarded to law enforcement and anti

254
00:16:52,879 –> 00:16:58,240
corruption agencies for appropriate action. Personnel decisions will follow based

255
00:16:58,279 –> 00:17:01,039
on the findings. I also so there may be good

256
00:17:01,120 –> 00:17:04,119
reasons at this level for the Nigeria Police Force, under

257
00:17:04,160 –> 00:17:08,000
the leadership of the Inspector General of Police IGP, car

258
00:17:08,119 –> 00:17:13,279
Yode eg Betocunter immediately invite Nigeria serving lawmaker, Senator Prince

259
00:17:13,359 –> 00:17:18,240
Cheneadu n Woko aka ned n Woko for questioning over apparent,

260
00:17:18,359 –> 00:17:23,480
reasonable and evidence based allegations of raping a minor, child marriage,

261
00:17:23,720 –> 00:17:28,319
child molestation, underageed voters registration and child abuse against the

262
00:17:28,400 –> 00:17:33,559
person of superstar Nigeria Nollywood actress Regina Daniels. Following the

263
00:17:33,599 –> 00:17:38,240
Independent National Electoral Commission a neck voters card, Senator ned

264
00:17:38,359 –> 00:17:42,079
en Woko presented this morning through his verified social media

265
00:17:42,160 –> 00:17:46,200
profile to challenge the allegation earlier made by Regina Daniels

266
00:17:46,200 –> 00:17:49,000
that she was still a minor at age seventeen when

267
00:17:49,039 –> 00:17:53,119
the serving Nigeria senator forced her into early child marriage

268
00:17:53,160 –> 00:17:57,319
and started having sexual activities with her. A careful study

269
00:17:57,319 –> 00:18:00,839
of the ANEG voters card, Regina daniels real name or

270
00:18:00,920 –> 00:18:04,359
full name was not stated in the election voters registration

271
00:18:04,559 –> 00:18:08,400
card that looked very questionable and manipulative. The voter’s card

272
00:18:08,519 –> 00:18:11,759
was issued on July twenty third, twenty eighteen without the

273
00:18:11,799 –> 00:18:15,759
bearer real father’s name. The voter’s cards simply identify the

274
00:18:15,799 –> 00:18:20,640
actresses Daniel’s reginal limacher with date of birth as October tenth,

275
00:18:20,720 –> 00:18:25,319
nineteen ninety eight. This Chuce en Woko, a family member

276
00:18:25,359 –> 00:18:28,680
of Senator ned en Woco, in recent days issued a

277
00:18:28,759 –> 00:18:32,519
video statement wherein he accused and described the senator as

278
00:18:32,559 –> 00:18:36,200
a man of too many bad characters, saying that Senator

279
00:18:36,240 –> 00:18:39,839
ned en Woco and the actress father once stayed together

280
00:18:39,920 –> 00:18:43,119
in one apartment and the statement of Juice en Woco

281
00:18:43,279 –> 00:18:46,920
indicated that Senator ned en Woco knows the real name

282
00:18:47,000 –> 00:18:50,839
of the biological father of the star actress, hence as

283
00:18:50,880 –> 00:18:54,400
a learned and well educated person. Senator ned en Woko

284
00:18:54,440 –> 00:18:56,799
was probably in a good position to know that the

285
00:18:56,880 –> 00:18:59,759
voter’s card was questionable and it appears to be very

286
00:18:59,799 –> 00:19:04,160
fraudulent because a year before the questionable and apparent fraudulent

287
00:19:04,240 –> 00:19:07,559
a Neck Voters card was issued, the actress had sworn

288
00:19:07,559 –> 00:19:11,279
an affidavit and declared her real names as Adjegnu Regina

289
00:19:11,359 –> 00:19:15,039
Neimaka Favour born on the tenth of October two thousand

290
00:19:15,079 –> 00:19:19,000
and one, as stated in her five years International Passport

291
00:19:19,160 –> 00:19:23,920
issued on May ninth, twenty seventeen and renewed on January eleventh,

292
00:19:24,039 –> 00:19:27,440
twenty twenty two, with saying names and date of birth

293
00:19:27,519 –> 00:19:31,200
for ten years international passport. According to the founder of

294
00:19:31,240 –> 00:19:34,880
saha A Reporters News Media, Omi Yene Saware, it was

295
00:19:34,920 –> 00:19:38,240
Senator ned en Woko who probably and allegedly may have

296
00:19:38,359 –> 00:19:41,440
obtained the faker Neck Voters card to conceal the real

297
00:19:41,519 –> 00:19:45,160
age of the star actress, saying Senator Prince ned en

298
00:19:45,279 –> 00:19:50,039
Woko has traveled with Regina Daniels to Jordan, UAE, Egypt.

299
00:19:50,279 –> 00:19:54,559
Former Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General to Kubratai has

300
00:19:54,640 –> 00:19:58,359
described the conduct and behavior of a Nigeria serving Minister

301
00:19:58,440 –> 00:20:02,319
and former Governor of Riverstone, nisam Wiki before a serving

302
00:20:02,440 –> 00:20:05,759
Nigeria soldier in the Naval Force as reckless and thus

303
00:20:05,839 –> 00:20:09,000
insulted and disrespected the person and the office of the

304
00:20:09,039 –> 00:20:13,079
President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria,

305
00:20:13,559 –> 00:20:17,519
Bola Armedenubu, after the minister had a confrontation with the

306
00:20:17,640 –> 00:20:21,480
naval officer with the service name am Yerema at Plot

307
00:20:21,559 –> 00:20:26,240
nineteen forty six, Gudua District, Abouja over ownership and development

308
00:20:26,400 –> 00:20:28,960
rights to a parcel of land allegedly link to a

309
00:20:29,000 –> 00:20:32,720
former Chief of Naval Staff. This A careful study of

310
00:20:32,720 –> 00:20:36,920
some video footage made available online, especially the video captured

311
00:20:36,960 –> 00:20:41,200
and published by Channel’s Television, apparently indicated that the FCT

312
00:20:41,440 –> 00:20:45,400
Minister nisam Wiki physically assaulted one of the operatives of

313
00:20:45,440 –> 00:20:49,359
the Department of State Services DSS that was seen protecting

314
00:20:49,400 –> 00:20:52,640
the minister against a potential threat of armed soldier who

315
00:20:52,759 –> 00:20:55,920
was on a direct viewpoint with the minister. The DSS

316
00:20:55,960 –> 00:20:59,200
officer proactively moved to give the armed soldier a close

317
00:20:59,319 –> 00:21:01,880
marking and checks up to the defense line with the

318
00:21:02,039 –> 00:21:05,319
armed soldier, who was moving steps on a close range

319
00:21:05,359 –> 00:21:09,720
and direct viewpoint to the minister. But surprisingly, the minister,

320
00:21:09,799 –> 00:21:13,359
in a manner that looks very disrespectful and belittling, walked

321
00:21:13,440 –> 00:21:15,920
up to the DSS officer and dragged him to leave

322
00:21:15,960 –> 00:21:20,359
the way professionally. The DSS operative angrily resisted Wick and

323
00:21:20,480 –> 00:21:22,920
said with a loud voice that he can’t leave the

324
00:21:22,920 –> 00:21:26,519
defense line, that the armed soldier is being unprofessional with

325
00:21:26,599 –> 00:21:29,599
the way the armed soldier was standing on a direct

326
00:21:29,680 –> 00:21:33,480
viewpoint to the minister. Quickly, one of the combatant DSS

327
00:21:33,480 –> 00:21:37,079
offices from behind moved towards the armed soldier and pushed

328
00:21:37,119 –> 00:21:41,200
him off the defense line. Thereafter, the situation became violently

329
00:21:41,279 –> 00:21:44,519
rowdy and was almost leading to a complete fight, even

330
00:21:44,559 –> 00:21:47,759
when the DSS operatives formed a circle around the minister

331
00:21:47,839 –> 00:21:51,440
to protect him. Nisim Wick was seen trying to violate

332
00:21:51,519 –> 00:21:54,599
the DSS human shield in a manner as if he

333
00:21:54,720 –> 00:21:57,960
was going personally to confront one of the armed soldiers,

334
00:21:58,240 –> 00:22:01,440
but the DSS offices ensured the minister was denied the

335
00:22:01,480 –> 00:22:05,599
opportunity to endanger his own life, and after the violent situation,

336
00:22:05,960 –> 00:22:09,559
all the armed soldiers moved backward while the DSS offices

337
00:22:09,599 –> 00:22:13,319
built a human defense wall against the armed soldiers completely.

338
00:22:13,640 –> 00:22:17,160
Only the senior Army officer who appeared not armed, was

339
00:22:17,200 –> 00:22:20,240
now in close contact with the minister and according to

340
00:22:20,279 –> 00:22:24,200
the former Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General to Kueberrattai,

341
00:22:24,640 –> 00:22:28,200
Nisam Wick’s action is a clear act that present danger

342
00:22:28,240 –> 00:22:32,480
to national security and undermines the authority of the Commander

343
00:22:32,519 –> 00:22:35,920
in Chief and the integrity of the armed forces. The

344
00:22:36,000 –> 00:22:40,519
FCT minister accompanied by senior officials of the Federal Well

345
00:22:40,559 –> 00:22:44,119
known human rights activist and founder of the Sahara Reporters

346
00:22:44,200 –> 00:22:48,119
News Media, Emile Saware, has called on the British government

347
00:22:48,559 –> 00:22:52,319
that the United Kingdom ukation immediately placed a ban on

348
00:22:52,519 –> 00:22:57,440
Nigeria serving senator representing Delta North Senatorial District in the

349
00:22:57,480 –> 00:23:00,799
Red Chamber of the National Assembly, Prince sheh Neidoo n

350
00:23:00,880 –> 00:23:04,359
Woko aka ned n Woko, as a registered lawyer in

351
00:23:04,400 –> 00:23:08,559
the United Kingdom, over allegations of child abuse, raping of

352
00:23:08,640 –> 00:23:12,920
minor and monastation allegedly committed against the person of nigeria

353
00:23:13,039 –> 00:23:18,200
popular Nollywood actress Regina Daniels after the superstar actress revealed

354
00:23:18,200 –> 00:23:21,279
on Sunday that she was forced into early marriage at

355
00:23:21,279 –> 00:23:25,079
the age of seventeen by the serving Nigeria senator, which

356
00:23:25,480 –> 00:23:29,200
According to Sware, Regina Daniels at seventeen was still a

357
00:23:29,279 –> 00:23:32,319
minor under the UK law and therefore called on the

358
00:23:32,400 –> 00:23:35,640
Law Society of England and Wales to be alerted and

359
00:23:35,680 –> 00:23:41,119
the Solicitor’s Regulation Authority SRA must begin disciplinary proceedings before

360
00:23:41,200 –> 00:23:46,359
the Independent Solicitor’s Disciplinary Tribunal SDT determined Senator ned n

361
00:23:46,519 –> 00:23:50,039
Woko fitness to still practice law in the UK, while

362
00:23:50,079 –> 00:23:54,519
Sirware stated this earlier on Sunday. On Monday evening, Sirware

363
00:23:54,720 –> 00:23:58,680
raised alarm of fresh plans by the serving Nigeria Senator

364
00:23:59,039 –> 00:24:01,759
ned en Woko to allegedly blocked the release of the

365
00:24:01,799 –> 00:24:06,559
detained Regina Daniel’s brother, Samuel Ajegu aka Sammy West and

366
00:24:06,680 –> 00:24:10,400
arrest his mother in law, Regina Daniel’s mother Rita and

367
00:24:10,480 –> 00:24:14,440
Regina Daniel’s friends. But Sammy West was later seen in

368
00:24:14,440 –> 00:24:18,480
a video on Monday night being released from prison. According

369
00:24:18,519 –> 00:24:23,400
to Amiele Saware, APC Senator Prince ned en Woco must

370
00:24:23,400 –> 00:24:26,400
be held accountable for crimes against a minor and abuse

371
00:24:26,440 –> 00:24:30,400
of power. The case of APC Senator Prince ned en

372
00:24:30,519 –> 00:24:34,480
Woko has gone far beyond politics. It now points to

373
00:24:34,559 –> 00:24:38,480
serious criminal conduct and gross abuse of power, as revealed

374
00:24:38,480 –> 00:24:43,640
by his now estranged wife, Regina Daniels. According to Regina Daniels,

375
00:24:44,000 –> 00:24:47,720
Senator Prince ned en Woko married and when she was

376
00:24:47,759 –> 00:24:50,440
only seventeen years old, at a time when she was

377
00:24:50,519 –> 00:24:54,279
legally a minor under UK law, where n Woko remains

378
00:24:54,319 –> 00:24:59,119
a registered legal practitioner, any sexual activity following that marriage

379
00:24:59,119 –> 00:25:04,000
would under British law amount to statutory rape. More disturbing

380
00:25:04,000 –> 00:25:08,559
are Regina daniels allegations that Senator n Woko introduced her

381
00:25:08,599 –> 00:25:11,200
to hard drugs while she was still under age and

382
00:25:11,240 –> 00:25:15,920
repeatedly forced himself upon her. These are no mere moral failings,

383
00:25:16,400 –> 00:25:21,319
their serious criminal offenses that demand investigation and prosecution. It

384
00:25:21,400 –> 00:25:25,200
is unacceptable for ned en Woko to continue parading himself

385
00:25:25,240 –> 00:25:28,119
as a lawyer in the United Kingdom while facing these

386
00:25:28,200 –> 00:25:33,079
damning allegations. Nigeria’s superstar actress, who has been in the

387
00:25:33,160 –> 00:25:35,640
news since she got married to a man many said

388
00:25:35,799 –> 00:25:39,319
was old enough to be her grandfather, Regina Daniels, on

389
00:25:39,440 –> 00:25:42,400
Sunday early morning night, revealed that she was married to

390
00:25:42,480 –> 00:25:46,960
the Nigeria senator representing Delta North, Prince Sheenidu n Woko

391
00:25:47,079 –> 00:25:50,160
aka ned en Woko as a miner at the age

392
00:25:50,200 –> 00:25:54,200
of seventeen, her statement that allegedly accused the serving Senator

393
00:25:54,519 –> 00:25:57,799
ned en Woco of apparent serious crime of child abuse,

394
00:25:58,119 –> 00:26:02,279
raping of minor child, mollestate and forced child marriage. Because

395
00:26:02,400 –> 00:26:06,839
Nigeria Constitution stipulates eighteen years of age for someone to

396
00:26:06,880 –> 00:26:09,759
be considered old enough to be able to consent to

397
00:26:09,839 –> 00:26:14,119
marriage or sexual activities and any sexual activity with a minor,

398
00:26:14,519 –> 00:26:18,160
the older person is presumed, according to the Nigeria Constitution

399
00:26:18,359 –> 00:26:21,480
as a criminal suspect who took advantage of the minor

400
00:26:21,599 –> 00:26:25,599
and liable for child abuse and other related crimes. Although

401
00:26:25,920 –> 00:26:29,079
Senator ned en Woco is a Muslim by religion, a

402
00:26:29,160 –> 00:26:32,799
careful study of the Nigeria laws indicated that Islamic law

403
00:26:32,960 –> 00:26:36,240
is only binding on Muslim and Muslim and not Muslim

404
00:26:36,279 –> 00:26:39,799
and Christian or people from other religions. We are also

405
00:26:39,839 –> 00:26:42,240
aware that both of them are from Delta State in

406
00:26:42,319 –> 00:26:47,039
the South South geopolitical zone of Nigeria that is predominantly Christians,

407
00:26:47,119 –> 00:26:50,720
that practices eighteen years as a statutory and customary age

408
00:26:50,799 –> 00:26:53,960
requirement for someone to be considered old enough to give

409
00:26:54,079 –> 00:26:57,200
his or her voluntary consent for marriage and other forms

410
00:26:57,240 –> 00:27:01,559
of sexual activities. This last month October, there was a

411
00:27:01,599 –> 00:27:04,920
heated debate at the Nigeria Red Chamber of the National

412
00:27:04,960 –> 00:27:08,160
Assembly where the senators bemoan the high rates of child

413
00:27:08,240 –> 00:27:11,920
abuse and defilement of miners in Nigeria and recommended a

414
00:27:11,960 –> 00:27:16,759
stiffer punishment of life imprisonment for offenders. Specifically, according to

415
00:27:16,799 –> 00:27:20,920
the Daily Post newspaper publication on October twenty first, twenty

416
00:27:21,039 –> 00:27:25,960
twenty five, the Senator representing Edo Norf’s Senatorial district, Adams

417
00:27:25,960 –> 00:27:29,240
Oshio Moley, said defilement of a minor should be different

418
00:27:29,279 –> 00:27:31,720
from that of rape. For a miner, this is a

419
00:27:31,799 –> 00:27:34,839
kid that is not capable of consenting or otherwise and

420
00:27:34,960 –> 00:27:38,799
whose life can be destroyed almost permanently. Those involved in

421
00:27:38,880 –> 00:27:43,480
defilement should suffer great punishment. I propose twenty years imprisonment

422
00:27:43,559 –> 00:27:47,359
for whoever is found culpable for this crime, without any

423
00:27:47,440 –> 00:27:50,880
option of fine, because I have seen cases of boys

424
00:27:50,920 –> 00:27:54,599
and girls under five and ten years old being defiled

425
00:27:54,640 –> 00:27:59,240
by adults, he said. The proposal was however, defeated by

426
00:27:59,279 –> 00:28:02,400
the majority in the Red Chamber of the National Assembly.

427
00:28:02,799 –> 00:28:06,319
Following the defeat of the bill, Senator Mohammada Damu Alliero

428
00:28:06,720 –> 00:28:11,079
Kevy Central proposed stiffer punishment of life imprisonment for any

429
00:28:11,160 –> 00:28:14,440
man or woman found wanting in the Act. I want

430
00:28:14,480 –> 00:28:17,279
to propose that the punishment for defilement for minors be

431
00:28:17,400 –> 00:28:21,359
life imprisonment, whether it’s a man or woman. Serving Nigeria,

432
00:28:21,440 –> 00:28:25,799
Senator Prince Sheenidu en Woko, well known as Nedo en Woko,

433
00:28:25,920 –> 00:28:28,519
has listed and narrated some of the things he has

434
00:28:28,599 –> 00:28:33,039
done for the family of his absconded fourth wife, Regina Daniels,

435
00:28:33,079 –> 00:28:37,920
particularly stating that his mother in law, Regina Daniel’s mother Rita,

436
00:28:38,359 –> 00:28:41,759
received one hundred and twenty five million nyers from him

437
00:28:41,799 –> 00:28:45,039
in the past two years alone, apparently challenging the mother

438
00:28:45,200 –> 00:28:48,319
in law earlier media statement that none of the senator’s

439
00:28:48,440 –> 00:28:51,480
children looked like a child of a billionaire and that

440
00:28:52,079 –> 00:28:54,279
she on her own spent her hard earned money to

441
00:28:54,319 –> 00:28:57,720
support the senator’s election, in addition to the fifty thousand

442
00:28:57,799 –> 00:29:01,200
dollars Regina Daniels gave to the six sixty five years

443
00:29:01,240 –> 00:29:05,559
old Muslim husband from the southern part of Nigeria. Outside that,

444
00:29:05,960 –> 00:29:09,279
Senator ned en Woco apparently tried to explain why his

445
00:29:09,400 –> 00:29:13,119
brother in law, Sami was arrested and detained after his wife,

446
00:29:13,519 –> 00:29:17,359
Regina Daniels, ran away from her matrimonial home and decided

447
00:29:17,400 –> 00:29:20,440
to end the marriage with the serving Nigeria senator on

448
00:29:20,480 –> 00:29:24,400
the ground of domestic violence, intimidation and oppression that made

449
00:29:24,400 –> 00:29:27,359
her looks like nothing in the house of the senator,

450
00:29:27,400 –> 00:29:31,079
whom she swiftly replied yesterday that ned en Woco never

451
00:29:31,200 –> 00:29:34,559
married her legally and she was apparently still a minor

452
00:29:34,599 –> 00:29:38,920
at age seventeen when the Nigeria serving senator allegedly forced

453
00:29:38,920 –> 00:29:43,240
her into early marriage. Details of Regina Daniel’s statements and

454
00:29:43,279 –> 00:29:46,599
the legal implications will be reported and published in our

455
00:29:46,680 –> 00:29:50,559
next news report for proper clarification and understanding so that

456
00:29:50,640 –> 00:29:54,240
appropriate government bodies like the Nigeria Police Force will be

457
00:29:54,279 –> 00:29:57,599
held accountable to take decisive action for the protection of

458
00:29:57,680 –> 00:30:02,279
girl child against sexual abuse, monestation, raping of minor and

459
00:30:02,359 –> 00:30:06,759
child marriage. According to the serving Senator ned En Woco,

460
00:30:06,839 –> 00:30:10,519
who attached two videos to his statements of Sammy, Regina

461
00:30:10,599 –> 00:30:14,440
Daniel’s brother having misunderstanding with some of his domestic staff

462
00:30:14,480 –> 00:30:17,640
and the policemen at his house. These videos show Sami,

463
00:30:18,000 –> 00:30:21,559
Regina’s brother repeatedly coming to my home and harassing my

464
00:30:21,759 –> 00:30:25,720
children and domestic staff, especially whenever I was not around.

465
00:30:26,519 –> 00:30:30,119
His visits were often aggressive and disruptive. This is someone

466
00:30:30,240 –> 00:30:33,319
I sponsored through his last two years at the University

467
00:30:33,319 –> 00:30:37,920
of Ecoma. I bought his musical instruments, rented and furnished

468
00:30:37,920 –> 00:30:40,519
a flat for him in Abouja, in addition to the

469
00:30:40,559 –> 00:30:43,599
house I bought for Regina in a Saber before our marriage,

470
00:30:43,599 –> 00:30:46,720
for the use of all of them. I also routinely

471
00:30:46,759 –> 00:30:50,440
provided allowances to all members of the family, including her

472
00:30:50,480 –> 00:30:55,079
mother Rita Daniel. Indeed, in the last two years, I

473
00:30:55,119 –> 00:30:58,079
have a record of transferring one hundred and twenty five

474
00:30:58,119 –> 00:31:02,599
million nairas to her alone. When Regina started her rehabilitation,

475
00:31:03,119 –> 00:31:06,000
there was a clear instruction by the doctors to strictly

476
00:31:06,039 –> 00:31:10,160
restrict people, especially her enablers, from having access to her.

477
00:31:10,279 –> 00:31:14,400
Indigenous People of Biafra. IPOB has said that the detained

478
00:31:14,440 –> 00:31:19,240
Biafra Republic Agitation leader Marzi Namdikru has not forfeited his

479
00:31:19,440 –> 00:31:23,119
rights to defend himself before the Federal High Court sitting

480
00:31:23,160 –> 00:31:27,519
in Abuja. After the Judge, Justice James Amatosha ruled on

481
00:31:27,640 –> 00:31:31,599
Friday and stated that Namdiknu rights to enter defense has

482
00:31:31,680 –> 00:31:36,000
been forfeited and thereafter fixed November twentieth, twenty twenty five

483
00:31:36,079 –> 00:31:39,240
for judgment as Namdi Carnu was seen to have staged

484
00:31:39,240 –> 00:31:43,680
the defensive confrontation with aggressive loud voice, challenging the court

485
00:31:43,720 –> 00:31:47,160
that the Federal government allegations against him has no legal

486
00:31:47,240 –> 00:31:50,599
basis or any aspect of the Nigeria law that backs

487
00:31:50,599 –> 00:31:55,400
such allegations. This barrister, a lawyer gimcor the organizing lawyer

488
00:31:55,440 –> 00:31:59,319
for the detained Biafra Republic Agitation leader, had on Wednesday

489
00:31:59,440 –> 00:32:02,440
said in as a written and video statement posted on

490
00:32:02,599 –> 00:32:07,160
his ex social media account that Namdykru is competent enough

491
00:32:07,200 –> 00:32:11,960
to defend himself, especially given the political elements in the case,

492
00:32:12,000 –> 00:32:15,359
which he understands better than any lawyer. In a press

493
00:32:15,400 –> 00:32:19,319
release issued and made available on Friday, ipob In the

494
00:32:19,359 –> 00:32:23,519
statement signed by Emma Powerful said it strongly condemns the

495
00:32:23,559 –> 00:32:26,839
new round of fake news being pushed by certain Nigerian

496
00:32:26,920 –> 00:32:32,119
media outlets. The false claim that Marzi Namdykru has forfeited

497
00:32:32,119 –> 00:32:35,480
his right to defense in the ongoing trial before Justice

498
00:32:35,599 –> 00:32:39,839
James kolawol Amaitosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja is

499
00:32:39,880 –> 00:32:42,599
a desperate Lineman to mislead the public and cover up

500
00:32:42,599 –> 00:32:47,400
an illegal process. Let the truth be clear, Marzi Namdykru

501
00:32:47,519 –> 00:32:51,240
has not forfeited anything. What is happening in court is

502
00:32:51,319 –> 00:32:54,680
not a fair trial but a political show. Up till

503
00:32:54,720 –> 00:32:59,519
to day, neither Justice Amitasho nor Chief adding Boyeggbera Womelo San,

504
00:33:00,039 –> 00:33:03,200
the government’s lead prosecutor, has been able to point to

505
00:33:03,240 –> 00:33:08,200

506
00:33:08,319 –> 00:33:11,680
silence speaks volumes. It is a quiet confession that this

507
00:33:11,960 –> 00:33:16,759
entire case has no legal foundation. The core question remains simple.

508
00:33:17,160 –> 00:33:20,400
Can anyone be prosecuted or convicted without a living law

509
00:33:20,440 –> 00:33:24,400
that clearly defines the offense and prescribes a punishment. The

510
00:33:24,519 –> 00:33:28,640
answer is written in section thirty six twelve of Nigeria’s

511
00:33:28,720 –> 00:33:33,319
nineteen ninety nine Constitution. A person shall not be convicted

512
00:33:33,319 –> 00:33:36,279
of a criminal offense unless that offense is defined and

513
00:33:36,319 –> 00:33:40,160
the penalty therefore is prescribed in a written law. This

514
00:33:40,319 –> 00:33:43,480
means you cannot charge or convict anyone unless the law

515
00:33:43,599 –> 00:33:47,240
exists in black and white. No judge or lawyer can

516
00:33:47,240 –> 00:33:50,599
twist that. The Supreme Court has said the same thing
